The LNR PUD was approved in June 2004 under ordinance 509-718. There have been three amendments
since its original approval. The First in January 2017 under 2000M-154 which amended certain uses to
assure consistency of applied regulations across the city. The Second in June 2019 under ordinance
2000M-185 for the annexation of 19.5 acres into the PD. The third amendment in August 2022, under
ordinance 2000M-231 for the annexation of 8.834 acres into the PD. This addendum would carry
forward those regulations.

PUD has been developed with several large facilities including; Lonza Biologics Inc., Mitsubishi Heavy

and Endress Hauser. The addition of the property will bring the total area of LNR PUD to approximately
189.23 acres.

Unit Development. The primary use will be for speculative office/warehouse.

of the Planned Unit Development. The development will adhere to the same criteria as the other tracts
